That's a silly reason to buy coilovers. I have MS springs and Konis and I didn't have any clunk. I would say a well matched quality spring/shock setup is just as reliable and offers better performance than a shoddy cheap low end coilover.

 

I am getting the same clank that I read about from many here. Stock suspension, AT touring, but with newly added Konis. Before the Konis went on it was quieter and more dull sounding but definitely there over bumps where the car dropped suddenly after passing over. Both sides, I think, but definitely left. Then after installing the Konis it became a lot more common and a lot more metallic sounding, like a metal plate banging somewhere -- not a solid rod. Even the little dots in the street set it off now, while before it took a tall sewer lid or speed bump.

One dealer looked at it and said, junk in the trunk. Jerk. The trunk was empty.

I looked around a bit and did not see anything yet that would make the ringing metallic sound. Exhaust and other things seem too solid and "clunk" rather than"clank".

Actually, it sounds like it is coming from the wheel assembly but that does not seem possible. It definitely happens as the spring forces the assembly down. It goes faster than gravity and I was thinking maybe something loose just fell slower and caught up at the bottom with the clank.

Check the brake shields, that would clank rather than clunk. I've heard people getting rocks in between there.

I had a clunk or popping noise from the rear right when a ran over small bumps or uneven roads in a straight line at regular street speeds. I changed my rear endlinks because they were going bad. Noise didn't go away until i changed my front endlinks. It was weird that the sound seemed like it was coming from the rear right, but the problem was the front endlink.
